Oil Natural Gas Coal Hydrogen Fuel Cell Biomass Solar Power Tower Solar Thermal Photovoltaic Cells Geothermal Hydroelectric Dam Tidal Oil Natural Gas Coal (in the past) Geothermal Passive Solar Biomass
6
What’s your best definition for… Green Clean Organic Sustainable
7
Why might solar be our energy future?
8
Energy Types: Use your cards to show… Chemical Electrical Mechanical Light (EM) Heat Clean Renewable Sustainable Wind Geothermal Solar Power Tower Photovoltaic Cells Biomass Passive Solar Coal, Oil, Natural Gas Hydrogen Fuel Cells Hydroelectric Tidal
9
Resources ≠ Reserves Resources – amounts of material that are known/ assumed to exist that can be extracted NOW or in the FUTURE for a POSSIBLE profit $ Reserves – known amounts of material that can PRESENTLY be extracted for a PROFIT – “proven”
10
Example of the Laws of Conservation of Matter and Thermodynamics Global Warming Acid Rain Smog Burning Coal = CO 2 + SO + H 2 0 + Ash + (C x H x S x O x ) Light + Noise + Heat Matter Cycles, Energy Flows
11
HOW ARE THE CARBON CYCLE AND THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT CONNECTED?

14
Renewable-energy Use in the United States
15
Possibly nonrenewable? Use your cards to show… The renewable energy sources that if used unsustainably could become nonrenewable. Geothermal, biomass
16
Turbines generate electricity the turbine spins, which spins a magnet within metal. Electrons from the metal atoms are affected by the magnet and are harnessed. Which turn a turbine DIRECTLY? falling water, wind, tides Which turn a turbine INDIRECTLY? steam from boiling water: the sun, burning coal, oil, natural gas, biomass, geothermal energy
17
The Sun – the ultimate energy source Use your cards to tell… Which energy sources directly or indirectly get their energy from the sun? wind, solar power tower, solar thermal, PV cells, biomass, natural gas, coal, oil
